"My Father Said" lyrics

My father said to keep guard
But he never said when I should start
I wanna hold her for days
But she's running like hell in the other way
My mother taught me to leave
But she never said who I should keep
She says we can't talk all the time
She feels just like heaven when I wanna die

So I breathe in your skin
And remember why I've been waiting
Could we freeze time and live life
Like it's the last day that we'll be alive?

So please come home
You don't have to be sad on your own
Don't sleep alone
If you do, let me know

I held on, clutching you close
'Cause I found that impossible hope
It's so rare to watch air turn to gold
Like a phoenix, I watched you unfold

So I breathed in your skin
Like it's the last day that I'll be alive

So please come home
You don't have to be sad on your own
Don't sleep alone
If you do, let me know
So please come home
You don't have to be sad on your own
Don't sleep alone
If you do, let me know

My father said to keep guard
But with you, I can show all my cards
If you cannot pick up yourself
I will break every bone just to help

Please come home
Sad on your own
Sleep alone
If you do, let me know
